Abstract

Human beings are using energy from the time of known history. Initially, mankind started using energy by firing wood. With the evolution and development of technology, world moved towards the usage of less carbon dense fuels (Wood à Coal à Liquid Petroleum products like Petrol & Diesel etc à Gases like LPG, Natural Gas etc à Renewable Energy) [1]. As Natural resources are moving towards depletion, world is looking for its alternate in development through renewable energy. With the discovery of Shale Gas (a form of Natural Gas), it can be expected that Natural Gas will act as long-term bridge from petroleum products towards renewable energy. Being eco-friendly through less carbon emission as compared to Petrol, Diesel & LPG, it is positively promoted worldwide to reduce carbon footprint. Natural gas distribution business is expanding at very faster rate in India. Thus, energy saving in this sector will further make it attractive to investor as well to customer through cost reduction.
